I think it really depends upon the area you live in. I'm in the Finger
Lakes and most small stands operate on the honor system. There is a can
or lock-box to put the money in and most people are honest. We've had a
roadside stand to take our leftovers from our CSAs for the past few
years. We usually do a few thousand a year with it and have never lost
more than 3-5% to people helping themselves.
